Summer House To Rear Of Old Wardour House

The summer house, now an annexe to Old Wardour House, dates from the late 17th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with a tiled roof and features two storeys and four windows with sash frames. A 20th-century panelled door is located in a round-arched surround with a keystone and imposts to the left of centre. To the right of the door are two 9-pane fixed leaded round-arched windows, and one is to the left, all featuring keystones and imposts in their architraves, with small leaded windows in between. There is a plat band above the keystones. The first floor has four 9-pane sashes in plain architraves with a sill band, and a moulded cornice above a plain blocking course. The left side of the building has a large square opening, a plat band, and one 9-pane sash in a plain architrave on the first floor, along with a blocking course and a gable with coping. The right side features a 20th-century panelled door. The interior has not been inspected. Attached to the right is the shell of a two-storey 17th-century stable, which has no roof and unglazed mullioned windows. This summer house is part of a series of buildings built against the south wall of Old Wardour Castle's bailey and may have been the 'Banqueting House' constructed in 1687.
